  2. Ammonia poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_poisoning

    A build-up of ammonia in the fish tank leads to ammonia poisoning. Species of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) can break down the ammonia and convert it to other, less toxic, nitrogen products. Two examples of AOB are Nitrosospira and Nitrosomonas. [2] The amount of ammonia present is usually accompanied by a rise in pH. As ammonia is a base ...

  3. Recirculating aquaculture system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_aquaculture...

    Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are used in home aquaria and for fish production where water exchange is limited and the use of biofiltration is required to reduce ammonia toxicity. [1] Other types of filtration and environmental control are often also necessary to maintain clean water and provide a suitable habitat for fish. [2]

  4. Fishless cycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishless_cycling

    The most significant advantage of fishless cycling is that it can reduce fish loss due to ammonia and nitrite spikes. Fish loss can be very discouraging for beginners of fish keeping, so indirectly, fishless cycling can also help beginners get a good start. Cycling aquariums using feeder fish is risky, because it infects the aquarium with any ...

  5. Aquaponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics

    Aquaponics is a food production system that couples aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) whereby the nutrient-rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponically grown plants.

  6. Aquarium filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_filter

    Excretia and other decomposing organic matter produce ammonia which is highly toxic to fish. Bacterial processes oxidize this ammonia into the slightly less toxic nitrites, and these are in turn oxidized to form the much less toxic nitrates. In the natural environment these nitrates are subsequently taken up by plants as fertilizer and this ...

  7. Hardy fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy_fish

    A hardy fish is any fish which is easy to maintain in a home aquarium due to its ability to adapt to a wide range of water parameters. [1] Such fish are good starter fish can be used for 'cycling' an aquarium (i.e. reducing ammonia and nitrites to effectively zero.) [2] [more detail needed]
